Ah, okay, seems the edit went through.

I'll have something written up later tonight. =3=;;

Edit: And done. So. The remaining guys (Fake, blumenk, Cucco, and org) are in the other group.

The city's layout... I'm not gonna be too heavy handed on the city of mirrors (I'll be more concrete with the actual Yuzoraku), so you can take a few liberties here and there with locations.
Just... Not too many liberties.
Scandinavia


The wolf fighting Nevsky and his mount was caught completely off guard by Walgrave's attack, and though the flames seemed to slide harmlessly off of its pent, the metal was nowhere near as useless. Howling in pain, the beast's attention was dragged away from fighting the Rider in front of itself and instead onto trying to back away...

Which may have worked out better if Siegfried hadn't taken the opportunity to cut down the beast whiles its guard was down. The other wolf facing off against him had already been cut down, it seemed, and with all the enemies in front of him now handled, the warrior turned to the apparent leader of the pack, his blade gripped firmly in both hands. The beast facing Sinfjotli found itself facing a similar fate, and its stamina could match the Berserker's no longer as the Servant's spear eventually met its mark straight through the wolf's stomach.

The three wolves left in the fray snarled as they bounded forward, eyes gleaming with a primal rage as their V-formation broke form. Of course, this could only work so well, as the two wolves that met the Servants to the side were cut down not long after, and the wolf that continued pushing forward only found itself bouncing harmlessly off of Tamamo's mirror.

Almost as if accepting a bitter loss, the wolves' leader cut off its howling and began to retreat with the rest of its packā€”or, well, what remained of it, at least. The only ones left were the one bound and the one whose head was still skewered to the ground; all the rest were left as corpses, and no more.

With a clap of his hands, Shakespeare walked up towards the group and smiled.

"Wonderful, wonderful! You routed those creatures with nary a scratch!" he proclaimed, a freshly-written manuscript in hand as he extended his arms to the side. "And with perfect timing, no less! That was just enough time for this chapter to be completed!"

The soldiers, however, were not in such great condition. Their ears still seemed to be bleeding as backlash from the howling earlier, but they at least seemed to be able to speak.

"...You did it. I'm amazed..." one muttered to himself, though he could not hear himself (or his companion) in the least at the moment. "Well, we shall keep our side of the bargain, then."

With that, the tolling of the bells seemed to stop, and right on time, too; the rest of the militia that had gathered at the town's gates were met with the sight of over a dozen wolf corpses lying around. The soldiers who witnessed the entire thing couldn't say much, though, considering the fact that their eardrums were blown out and were thus unable to hear... Much of anything.

"...Well? Someone mind explaining what happened here?" one of the men asked, stepping forward to the front of the group. "This seems like a complete massacre..."

Babylonia

Sakata Kintoki

The GOLDEN Berserker didn't seem to mind the archer sniping away at any enemies that drew too close to him as he charged after Enkidu, only pausing when he heard that the two needed to keep the golem busy.

The golem. Busy.

Even he knew that wasn't exactly going to be the easiest of tasks, but at this point there was no reason not to try. With a confident nod of his head, Kintoki charged forward once more, loading his axe up with electricity as he did so. A wide smile crossed the Servant's face as he moved ever closer, only to realize that the golem's head seemed to be turned towards him now.

And that the arm of said golem was now slowly descending towards his location.

Well, dang.

"Yo, cat lady! Get ready to see me blow that thing to smithereens! Or, well, probably!" he cried out, adopting a battle stance as he stared up at the descending pillar of stone and clay.

At least he got the "distraction" part down, right?

"Aight, let's go! The Kintoki special! GOOOOOLDEN!
SPAAAAARK!"


With a cry, the Berserker swung his axe upwards, unleashing a giant wave of electricity that crashed straight into the incoming limb. The two met for a moment in a brief clash before Kintoki's blast broke through, severing the arm and causing it to stop resisting the force of gravity.

Which, of course, meant it was falling faster. Luckily, it only seemed to fall near the wayside and away from the walls themselves, but...

"Woo! See that?" he asked in a manner not similar to a child seeking approval from his peers. It was at this moment, though, that a large white circle appeared underneath the golem before the ground beneath it turned unstable. With the possibility of remaining upright becoming next to nothing now, the construct slipped and fell backwards, but not before a large array of chains appeared from behind it and flew over its body, thus chaining it to the ground when it landed.

"...Whoa. Hey, I think our green-haired buddy is done. You... Think we should check the thing out, though?"

The Northern Wall

The Berserker facing off against Lancelot showed no hesitation at he swung once more at the knight, only to find that the axe in his left hand was now in the grasp of his opponent, and that there was absolutely no time to even attempt a parry or a block. Lancelot's borrowed weapon met its mark, and as predicted, the Servant's arm, though not severed, was now essentially unusable. The axes he was once wielding dissipated into thin air (the one in Lancelot's hands included) and the Berserker roared as he grabbed the sword that was still stuck in his stomach with his working arm and pulled it out before throwing it off to the side. With a short moment to crouch down, the 3-meter tall Servant leaped backwards right after, only to mount the skeletal elephant he had been riding before the fight hand began and declared a retreat.

Or, at least, that was how it seemed; given how everything coming out of his mouth still seemed to be guttural roars and screams. The skeletons that had once been surrounding the two were now converging on Lancelot once more, as if to cover for their commander's retreat.

The target of Arturia's own charge was not so lucky, though; with the skeletons being felled faster than they could be replaced in line, it only took mere moments before the Saber cut her way through the crowd and met with the so-called 'commander'. This time, there was no time to recover a replacement weapon once its own was broken, and just like all the others around it, the blade of the Saber in front of him only needed a single swing before it was bisected. While the remaining skeletons didn't collapse upon their leader's death, they were left disoriented for a few moments before beginning to follow the Berserker as he began to retreat.

With the bet finally settled, Gilgamesh turned back to face the two Masters to his side as cheers began to erupt from the soldiers below.

"That seems to be the end of it all, does it not? The winner, it seems is the little King of Knights over there... Seeing as how those mongrels failed to even do their job properly," the king scoffed as the golden portals behind him faded away. "...Or do you wish to chase after that fleeing dog?"

@VitaVitaAR@Raineh Daze@Lonewolf685@GreenGoat@KoL
End of today, I'm gonna have Vita switch from the tengu if she doesn't reappear so we can move on.
Keita paused for a moment as something seemed to fly by the corner of his eye. His initial though was that it was an insect that had just flown by, and thus swiveled his head to get a better look. After all, places like these didn't generally have any bugs, and letting one slip in through the entrance, while relatively harmless within the grander scheme of things, was still pretty damn annoying.

His surprise at the sudden change of scenery, of course, caused the young man to stop for a moment and blink a few times before looking around in haste. The groceries yet-unpaid were still in hand (or, rather, in his basket), and that was certainly a troublesome issue. What was more notable (other than the spontaneous teleportation and/or hallucination) was that there were a bunch of other people wearing their school uniforms also in the elevator with him. He recognized a few others other than Manami (who had also apparently been dragged along for the ride), but rather than freak out in any meaningful way, Keita held his tongue and waited. The entire matter was incredibly disconcerting, but the scenery seemed oddly... Familiar.

Once the elevator came to a stop and disappeared into nothingness, Keita's eyes widened in realization at their current location. Everything seemed so surreal, but that dreamlike quality that this place had made things click.
...
The fact that he could still feel the basket dragging down his arm also meant that he hadn't just spontaneously fallen asleep or was having a lucid dream or something.

Which... Actually made for a lot more questions than he'd have liked. It answered a few, yes, but...

"Okay. Hold on a moment, here. What's with this game-like scenario here? Why's this place the same one my dreams keep gravitating towards? Why are we here physically now? And most importantly, what the heck am I supposed to do with this load of unpaid groceries?!" he asked, waving off the matters of what sort of problem they had been dragged into. That would probably be explained in due time, but that last question was a necessity. How would he explain becoming an accidental shoplifter to his family?!
@Kuroyomihime: You're the one I'm kinda waiting on rn, so a post would be appreciated.
...
Assuming you're coming back to the site and all that. 2 days MIA wow.

If you don't reappear in the next few days, I'm gonna dial the clock forward a bit, I guess.
Kamijou Touma and Komeiji Satori


The incredibly quick run-down of the groups' current location caught Touma off guard, slightly moreso after being handed a black box. The fact that he was going to obtain one upon entry caused him to blankly stare at the object for a few moments before turning back to the soldier who had handed it off.

"E-eh? Er, right, right," Touma responded, nodding his head yes almost out of pure instinct as he walked forward, looking around the area in curiosity before Satori stepped forward with a sigh.

"How convenient it is that we were given no place to start. I would assume our only lead for the moment is that city over there... Though I know of none like it. Maybe the architecture is more familiar to you?" she asked, calmly walking forward with a relatively unreadable expression on her face. "All the buildings where I live are made of wood and stone, not..."

"Steel. It looks kinda... I dunno, it gives off a really heavy post-modern vibe? The place is jet-black, though. Place must become seriously hot in the summer without some preventative measures in place. Color aside, the place feels... Kinda familiar enough from a distance? Ah, whatever, we'll figure out more stuff once we get there," Touma waved nonchalantly as he turned his head back towards Goldibanne. "I mean, might as well check whatever's closest, right?"
Yes.
Sorry I took so long; figuring out where to shove everyone coupled with a death march work week make me have to temporarily put this RP to the side to get them done.

Back for real now, though!
Kamijou Touma and Komeiji Satori

"Ah... Say again, now?" the young man asked at the group's destination, which... More or less seemed to be a nexus of portal-generating devices? As far as he knew, such technology didn't exist in his world, so the fact that they existed in and of themselves was more shocking than anything thus far. Othinus was, of course, unfazed by the matter; it didn't take long to rationalize such things for her, given how the current trajectory of events meant that there was only so much logical distance one could cover. Especially with the explanation prior, the mission that the entire group was given was... Actually far more mundane than she had expected.

"...Really? Just to find a base?" Othinus muttered to herself as she slowly took in the small descriptions of each world and began to process them. Touma, of course, was still slightly in shock at somewhere conceivably being more advanced than Academy City, but that shock soon dispersed and he began to think about which world to head to.

Satori, on the other hand, was far from pleased with what little information she had managed to whittle out of that unreliable host of theirs, and was no less amused when directed into a room to pick a room to travel to. While the Konpaku girl (and the rest of the group) dispersed, she remained within the chamber, half in defiance and half in contemplation. It wasn't soon after, though, that she was one of the only ones left in the room alongside the black-haired boy with what seemed to be a tiny fairy or something on his shoulder and the blonde doll that the two seemed to have been speaking to earlier.

Maybe now would be a good time to begin to make herself acquainted with people.

"Excuse me," she asked, walking over to the small group of people still lost in thought at the situation. "But since that... Thing has left, can I assume we should be left to our own devices for the moment?"

"...Eh? Oh, uh, yeah, I guess we are, aren't we?" Touma asked, shaken out of his rare moment of deep thought by the appearance of the pink-haired girl. He could at least tell that she was the one who was badgering the guy to send people who wanted to go home... Well, home, so he had to at least give her some respect for that. It took a lot to stand up to power far beyond one's own; he should know, considering everything he had gone through in life thus far.

"That's a relief. Oh, and thank you for the compli-"

Satori's eyes widened in momentary realization before closing her mouth in a panic. Crap. Crapcrapcrap. She had already slipped so soon after. Would it take only a moment to take a fool's errand alone for the sake of her family?

"...Oh, uh... You're welcome, I guess? Though I don't think I said anything like that..." Touma responded in turn, a nervous laugh weakly escaping his lips as Satori let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh good, he's either a fool or just slow." she comforted herself before she caught wind of the fairy's own thoughts... And what speed at those thoughts came! At risk to herself, Satori steeled herself (though she herself showed no trace of it externally) and dove into the being's mind...

Only to be ejected in a matter of seconds. The so-called fairy's eyes snapped open and she glared at Satori, her lips clasped in a tight frown.

"Rude, aren't you? Letting my mental defenses down is no invitation for you to peer into my mind!" Othinus snapped, sending a slight shiver down Satori's spine. The youkai shook her head for a moment after recovering from that moment of shock before she stared back in return.

"You're no fairy or anything of the sort... The title of 'fallen god' would be more appropriate, would it not? Well, I can understand you hiding your identity from that man and the rest of the group, considering he didn't seem to recognize you but did your companion."

"That is... Correct. My name is Othinus, and this is Kamijou Touma, a rather... Hardheaded student. Given how suspicious you are of this entire situation, would I be wise in suggesting we work together? I cannot say I trust that man either, since his motivations and mentality escapes my grasp on understanding, and since you are one of the few people willing to confront his methodology rather than quietly accept it like many others here have--" she began, glaring at Touma for a moment before continuing, "I would much prefer your aid. Blind obedience is a danger, after all."

At this, Satori was shocked. Rather than be rejected after her abilities came to light, this Othinus person was actually... Inviting her? That was more a shock than anything else, and it left the youkai girl speechless for a moment before nodding.

"...Certainly. So. Have you decided where to go?"

"...Possibly. But first... I want to talk with you... And that Goldibanne doll as well, considering we are the only ones left here. I would like us all to discuss our capabilities in combat. Touma here is less brains than he is pure luckiness and unluckiness fused into a single being--"

"Hey, I resent that comment! Though, uh... I really can't deny it..."

"It is true, is it not? Anyways, a dialogue between us should be fine; it isn't as if the world is ending or anything at this very moment, is it?"



The conversation between the four people panned out for a while, with each giving the others insight into their own worlds and abilities (Satori was far less surprised at the living doll and had taken a great interest in Touma's Imagine Breaker, while Touma himself was just happy to know he didn't have to treat Satori like a hot stove with right hand) with seldom (if any) intervention from their 'host'. It was a moment of "peace" for Satori, at least compared to the last hour or so. But at least now they were more prepared in knowing what to expect from one another for the mission to come.

With that settled, Othinus directed the group towards the third portal--the one that no group had decided to enter. Satori and Touma had no objections to the suggestion, and so they walked forward, with... Mixed feelings at the end of everything.

Technically it might have been faster to discuss this en-route, but that would also give the possibility of being attacked if the world was hostile... And thus cause them to lose track of their conversation. That on its own wasn't something either side wanted, though for inherently different reasons altogether.
@Crimmy@banjoanjo: Uh... Just got the time to read through every different scene just now. Um...

Japanese archery clubs aren't focused on any tournament results in the least . It's treated as more an art club than a sports club, and they are inherently different from archery clubs in the West because of how formalized the 'ritual' of the shot is.

That aside, it's also one of the most popular electives in the nation afaik, and considering that tournament results are a talking point in your posts when it's less about hitting a bullseye and more about the process in which the bow is drawn, raised, and fired, I... Am not entirely sure why they wouldn't have funding on par with other popular clubs. Results wouldn't impact the funding of a club that is more cultural in nature, even if it is seeing low success in competitions (which themselves are treated like formalized practice than anything else).

I'm also fairly certain Western archery clubs wouldn't exist in this context because they aren't prevalent enough in the nation to give rise to any formal competition.

Just my two cents here. It's been bugging me for a bit now, but yeah.
